Oh, to be young in post-war New York! William Shatner certainly got that experience - and ended up nearly having a close encounter of the queer kind after moving here to become an actor: I was wandering around Times Square and this guy says, ‘I’m going to Radio City Music Hall, would you like to come?’ And I said, ‘Oh, yes’ - [I thought] wow, New York is everything I heard it was going to be! We’re in the audience, I’m a young hot-blooded Canadian and out come the dancing girls, a plethora of women - and I feel his hand brush my knee. I thought, well, it’s an accident, then I felt … Continued…

The Sex And The City gals stepped out in London today to premiere their new movie.

Yes, you read that right: a film based around New York City came out in England first. That sort of stings a bit. And we think this geographical diss has our colleague Whitney Little a bit bitter: “As expected, Sarah Jessica Parker stole the spotlight — much to the other stars’ dismay — with a ridiculous bird on top of her head.” We, meanwhile, think the hat’s fab!

More pictures over at Mollygood.

Terrance Dean’s Hiding In Hip-Hop will soon hit the shelves, but you can start the blind item guessing game now. Hint: we’re not mentioned. [Gawker]

There’s more wedding chatter for Cynthia Nixon and her lucky-duck girlfriend, Christine Marinoni. The Sex and The City actress admitted to UK Mirror that she and her lady love are searching for some legally-recognized nuptials: If it becomes legal I think we would… It’s something my girlfriend is interested in and it was not something my boyfriend ever was.

I think that to get married to her would be a little act of rebellion. It’s like if you’ve never had the vote and then you get it you’re going to run out there and vote.

I always avoided marriage in the past and was always very wary of it. I felt like it was … Continued…

Gossip Girl actor and bushy-eyebrow sporting Chace Crawford’s popularity threatens to destroy the show, the world and, yes, even the universe: The show’s men, Chace Crawford, Penn Badgley and Ed Westwick, are battling over screen time and general media attention.

The problem? Audiences have gone gaga for Chace. The girls and the gays alike have brought the buzz his way, thanks to smoldering good looks and boyish charm.

“Penn was supposed to be the show’s break-out star and now it is obviously Chace, and Penn doesn’t like it,” said one insider.

…Jealousy still reared its head Monday night at the Met’s Costume Institute ball.

Both Penn and Chace walked the red carpet, but it was Chace who … Continued…

Now that Star Jones has filed for divorce, Al Reynolds had a night on the town with a “buxom” lady-friend. Apparently he’s making a show of his virile manhood, but still comes off a bit light: “He had on a white button-down [shirt], open with a diamond necklace hanging out. And he was drinking all night with his pinky in the air.” [NY Post]

Paula Abdul’s come under heavy fire in recent days.

As we all know, the American Idol host kind of screwed up last week when she misspoke and said she had heard both of Jason Castro’s songs when, in fact, he had only performed one.

Well, Colin Schoenberger of NewNowNext recently spoke with the entertainer and got to the bottom of how the snafu went down. We would go into the details, but it’s complicated and, quite frankly, not as interesting as this: …People talk about Madonna being the queen of reinvention - and while I applaud her - I don’t know anyone who’s reinvented themselves more than me, and created monumental, ginormous … Continued…

Madonna will reportedly get full rights over her kidnapped adopted Malawian son, David Banda. [Breitbart]

First daughter and author Jenna Bush will marry this weekend. Do you care? We actually do, which shocks us more than it shocks you.

The Hills girls may be incomprehensibly famous, but not all reality stars live their caviar dreams. For example, Rodrigo De Carli left his gay porn star life at Rascal videos to join the ranks of Janice Dickinson’s Modeling Agency.

Well, things didn’t turn out quite the way he wanted, because the De Carli’s gone back to his dick sticking ways: …De Carli AKA Claudio Martin (who was originally a Rascal Video Exclusive) is returning to XXX films this summer in two upcoming Lucas productions: Flatiron Fuckers and Pounding the Pavement.
…
In a press released issued by Lucas Entertainment today it states that the former reality TV star will be featured in the film … Continued…

Jackie Warner better watch her back.

Some of the lesbian gym bunny’s fans were none-too-pleased with her performance on last night’s Work Out, during which she fired one of her impossibly annoying trainers. And, as a means of venting their frustration, these “fans” are petitioning Bravo to cancel Warner and her “bad behavior.” Here’s what one mutinous lady-lover said about Warner: Last night was the final straw for lots of fans. They feel that Jackie is a poster child for bad behavior, [a] very negative icon for the gay and lesbian community.

I am a lesbian.This woman’s behavior in the workplace is really awful. Should lesbians act any differently, especially when being taped … Continued…

Like old Madonna, Pete Wentz owes at least part of his career to the gays.

The bent boys are always fawning over this over-hyped singer, who once showed his penis to the world and confessed that he would - gasp! - kiss a boy. Not one to ignore his biggest fans, Wentz gave the gays some more love last night at his bar, Angels & Kings.

New York magazine’s very excited Chris Rovzar “reports.” - or, we’re assuming it’s Rovzar: Naturally, we accosted him. “I heard it’s gay night, right?” he asked us, after we complimented his pointy hair. Turns out Pete has “great ‘dar,” by which he means he has … Continued…

The drama Gods must be laughing today, because Dina and Jim “Gay American” McGreevey have not reached a truce in their ongoing divorce spectacle. That means they’ll go to trial to hammer out custody of their daughter, among many other things. [NY Post]

Oh no! Could Marc Jacobs be back to his drug-addled ways? That’s what gossip-mongers are saying about the designer, who had quite a heroin habit back in the day: “He spends most of his time partying until morning in Paris,” a friend said. “It’s out of control. There’s always a different boy and everyone is worried he’s going to pull a Halston” - referring to the legendary designer whose work suffered due to drinking and drugs. Halston died of AIDS in 1990… But his personal troubles don’t seem to be affecting him professionally. Word is his champion, Anna Wintour, will honor him at next year’s Costume Institute Gala (this year’s honoree was Giorgio … Continued…
